This is seriously the best s’mores recipe I could find to convince you that I’ll be great for your podcast

For real. Scroll down. We’ll talk after you eat.

Or…

Bacon-Topped S’mores

As found in Cooking Light
(Even though this is not light)

Bacon S'mores “Mmmm… Tastes almost as good as Justin sounds”

There’s an obvious metaphor here about how you and I will bring out the best in each other— just like bacon & chocolate—but it’s super lame and you deserve better.

For now, enjoy this maniacal-yet-delicious recipe, and when you’re done, we can talk about why I’d be fun to have on your show.

*Wink*

 

Ingredients

  • 2 whole-grain graham cracker sheets
  • 4 miniature dark chocolate bars (such as Hershey’s)
  • 4 large toasted marshmallows
  • 2 slices cooked center-cut bacon

How to Make It

Break each whole-grain graham cracker sheet in half. Top each cracker half with 1 miniature chocolate bar. Microwave at HIGH 35 seconds or until chocolate is slightly melted; spread. Top chocolate with 1 toasted marshmallow and 1/2 slice cooked bacon.

There’s podcasterly magic behind this duct tape

 

All the people say I’m pretty fly for a write guy

(I told you there would be puns) 

Justin is my all-time most favorite guest ever in the entire history of any podcast I’ve either recorded OR listened to. And I’m not writing that because he told me to. 
 
Okay, got me. He did. And I am. But don’t let that stop you from having a killer conversation about copy and voice and how to make more money with smart marketing because he knows that stuff. <–and that line is all me.”
